GoodNotes 5 is single-handedly my most used iPad app. It is the BEST for note taking. But, it falls short when it comes to drawing sketches for my notes. Other note taking apps, like notability, also have issues when it comes to sketching notes.
Drawing a diagram of the layers of the skin, or the cores of the Earth, is time consuming and overly difficult. I like to test out many different custom colors from the color wheel to get the right colors, and unless you save every single custom color you make, there’s no chance you’re getting that color back without trying to recreate that color. It’s also quite annoying to have a bunch of random colors in your pen color section when you’ll only use those once for that one diagram. It would be amazing if we could actually pick custom colors from an eye dropper tool. This would solve so many problems I and many other people face.
I also find myself constantly making mistakes while drawing (I’m not an arts major, after all) and needing to erase things. Unfortunately, in GN5 there is no way to layer text, images, or even different pens/drawings. It would be dope if we could layer different items on top of each other. What would be even better on top of that is the ability to lasso an area and have an option to see “layers,” and if we clicked on that, we would be able to see the different layers of each object present in that space, isolate them (to delete them, erase specific parts, etc.), or change their layer position.
I know these are big asks and are likely complicated to implement, but I do think these would significantly improve the user’s quality of life and put GoodNotes 5 at an advantage over its competition.
